The uses of map3d are varied but include:- Visualization and interactive editing of geometric models constructed from line segments, triangles, and tetrahedra. The user can manually remove and edit connectivities between nodes, remove nodes, and manipulate icons that serve as visual landmarks (e.g., blood vessels, cutting planes, and site markers.)
- Visualization of spatially sampled time signals from experiments in electrophysiology; the program offers many scaling options and color maps as well as visualization elements such as surface contours and color-coded surface rendering.
- Simultaneous display of any number of individual time signals.
- Interactive visualization of experimental and simulation results from multiple three-dimensional surfaces displayed either together or in separate windows.
map3d addresses a unique niche in visualization by combining high performance interactive graphics with extensive quantitative data interrogation tools. The user can view three-dimensional time signals in modes that emphasize either the spatial or the temporal aspects of the data and move quickly back and forth between these views.
